UEFA is considering a cap
on agents' fees following a meeting of its Professional Football Strategy
Group. The PSFG, which consists of the main
stakeholders in European football, discussed a range of new initiatives at a
summit in Nyon, Switzerland on Tuesday.
The topic of agent fees was
in the spotlight following Alexis Sanchez's move from Arsenal to Manchester United.
Financial Fair Play, squad
size limits, and a 'transfer tax' were also examined.
Sanchez's representative
Fernando Felicevich received £15million for his part in the Chile
international's transfer to Old Trafford.
The new signing was given a
bumper financial package, earning up to £600,000 per week and his agent took
home a sizeable fee.
A statement from UEFA read:
'The PFSC endorsed a joint position on football agents/intermediaries, which is
designed to shape policy change in this regard by potentially adding a cap on
fees, introducing more transparency/accountability, and appropriate sanctions
in case of infringement of the rules.'
